There will be no change to the time of the last tram departures from the city centre outbound; St. Stephen’s Green and The Point.

I assume that the reduction in service will be primarily on the extensions since they're the under-performing sections?

[on the move]

€1,5 million is almost nothing in Luas terms, and is being stingy for the sake of it. Obviously, the ticket fare increases haven't being the solution to their issues.

My sympathy goes to the drivers who have been made scapegoats by the company. The oned I have spoken to in recent times have complained of crass scheduling, and low morale. I'm not surprised.

Sad that Tallaght and Saggart will lose services, but the whole schedule needs a complete overhaul for the present time.
